Game Day Cats v Doggies Sat April 6th 810 pm @ AO - Gather Round

[CatToTheFuture]

They have a couple of aces up their sleeve that we don't, though - Tim English, and Marcus Bontempelli (probably, along with Daicos, the best player in the league at the moment).

If we can break even in the middle, we're a chance - but that's a big if.

I think if we break even in the middle, or even get close, we win.

But the if does some heavy lifting

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Last night was a good example on how clearances especially centre clearances can dictate the outcome of a game.

Rarely does a midfield get that kind of ascendency though

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Scott: "Hey Kingy, we're putting together a gameplan for the Dogs this week, have you got any inside word on how they want to play?"

King: "Nah, sorry Scotty...Bevo just goes on rants about how football is like napoli sauce and his plans to murder Tom Morris in the team meetings. He's been heavily inspired by that Dahmer Netflix drama. We don't really have a gameplan"

Did you bug their rooms? It's like I'm there with them

I think of it this way, it is up to a team to actively stop their oppenent from doing that

I'd say Petracca, Rozee and Heeney right now ( also Butters and JHF), but Bont certainly is a tough matchup along with all their forward line height. Talent and list-wise, I can't see us winning, but we have CS and an insatiable appetite for winning this year it seems. Tough, close game. If we had Danger, would be a lot more confident. I know we can win games without him, but he is a real weapon against a team with top shelf mids.

Milestones Matter

Two weeks ago for his 250 : Stewie played a blinder.
Last week Tom 350 n Ollie 50 : scored 4 goals each.
Tonight Blitz plays his 250 : Expect Blitz to be BOG.
Sure he will pop up in the ruck, midfield and defence.
Hope he drifts forward and pops up with a few goals.
We know Blitz can get plenty of the ball on his own.
Tonight, teammates will give him leather poisoning.

Cats wins, have been due to their enormous pressure.
When Cats lift intensity, few teams can go with them.
Doggies are amongst the few, that handle pressure.
Tuohy and Stanley return unfortunately not Danger
Expect Dogs to win midfield and stoppage clearances.
Their slick ball movement by hand and foot will hurt.
The difference will come down to the forward lines.
Dogs will create opportunities for marking forwards,
Stewart was quiet last week but is needed tonight.
Thankfully SDK began to find form late last week.
Cats must win the F50 to goal conversion battle.
Quality F50 delivers efficiency and accuracy is key.
ie: Fast rebound from turnovers to open forwards.
Can't see either team getting a comfortable win.
Scores to stay close right to the final siren.
For Cats to win they will need to work hard for it.
Cats will find a way to win.

That is great.

Come on cats, lets slash them to pieces.

Geelong by 25 points.

 

[Chinacats]

Hopefully our midfield can hold up and give our forwards some good looks….. Bruhn has been good let’s see against some top liners…. I’m backing him in!

 

[standupand]

We play well at AO and match up very well on them, should be winning this really.

Get the ball in quick and expose their pretty average defence.

Our record there is 10 wins 9 losses. Low by CS standards.
Teams that have never won a game at AO:
Gold Coast
North Melbourne
Carlton

 

[STPer18]

4-0 start would be unreal. Get it done!

Carlton?!

 

[Hamingja]

Carlton?!

They have played there 7 times to our 19 (includes 3 finals for us). Putting the fix in fixture as usual.

 

[standupand]

Carlton?!

Might change soon for the blues I guess? But not even Gather Round will help the other two get off the duck.

I am heading to the riverbank now to get in line for that very reason.

That and the frothies

And the sun

And the music

And the s* talking

Time to gather round!

Dahmer‘s 'zombie experiments'? Drilling their brains + pouring muriatic acid into them to create mindless sex slaves?

I think if we break even in the middle, or even get close, we win.

Very even

Glorious day at AO
